The Republican House candidate for northern Utah’s 1st congressional district tested positive on Oct. 7 for the coronavirus.
Blake Moore and Darren Parry, a Democrat, face off in the Nov. 3 election in the Republican-leaning district. The seat opened after the incumbent U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop, a Republican, announced that he would not seek reelection after nine terms. Moore, a principal at a Salt Lake City management consulting firm, is making his first bid for public office. Parry is the former chairman of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation. He won his primary bid by roughly 400 votes.
